After just two weeks, FOX is pulling their new Second Chance TV show from its Wednesday night timeslot. Starting next week, the series will air on Friday nights at 9pm, switching places with Hell’s Kitchen. Ratings-challenged Sleepy Hollow will also begin airing on Friday nights at 8pm on February 5th.
The network hasn’t cancelled Second Chance yet but a timeslot change like this certainly doesn’t bode well for the series’ future. Neither do the ratings. The series debuted to a 1.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.71 million viewers. In week two, the ratings dropped to a 1.0 rating with 3.75 million. Last year, FOX cut the show’s episode order to 11 installments though the producers say they requested the reduction.
Here are timeslot change details:

IT’S A GUT-WRENCHING CHALLENGE ON AN ALL-NEW “HELL’S KITCHEN” WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27, ON FOX
After the contestants struggle to work together during opening night in the dining room, Chef Ramsay presents the red and blue teams with a communication challenge. Each contestant will wear a chef jacket with the dish they must complete written on the back of the jacket, while their teammates must read off the instructions to that contestant in order for him/her to properly prepare the dish. The team that correctly completes the most dishes will win a relaxing retreat in Santa Barbara, while the losing team must prepare the kitchen for the next dinner service, which involves gutting 100 lbs. of seabass. Later, during the dinner service, the teams will cook their second dinner service for VIP guests, including astronaut Buzz Aldrin. Find out which team will deliver an out-of-this world successful dinner service, and which team will struggle to manage the simplest tasks in the all-new “16 Chefs Compete” episode of HELL’S KITCHEN airing Wednesday, Jan. 27 (9:01-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

What do you think? Do you like the Second Chance TV show? Will you follow it to Fridays? Should Second Chance be cancelled?
I think it’s a good show like the characters hope it stays on the air
I LOVE this show!! !!!! and everyone I have asked to watch it LOVES it too. PLEASE, PLEASE give “Second Chance, a chance to catch on. PLEASE
Love the show. Really hope it survives.
We really like this show and it has a really interesting plot line. I was disappointed that it wasn’t on Wednesday. I checked the internet to find out why. I agree with previous comments that the networks have to give shows a chance and stop moving them around. I think it loses viewers.
I really am enjoying this show. Please don’t cancel it.
Please do not cancel. Really really liked it! Give it a chance!
I was shocked at how much I loved the first episode. I really would of appreciated it if tv stations, Fox, ABC, CBS, etc…would give shows a shot before canceling them. I hope that moving the show to Fridays won’t affect the viewers they have. I’m promoting, but no guarantees. Just don’t cancel it!
I really liked having it on Wednesday I will not watch Lucifer that is just too much for me neither will I watch Angel from hell I am sad if they cancel second chance before it gets a chance to develop .
We love the show and love the all the characters. Hope it catches on.
Please do not cancel the show!! Me and my bf enjoys watching the show…..
I really like the show….I was really looking forward on watching it this evening Guam time. I don’t mind it being moved to Fridays which would be a Saturday here in Guam.
I am enjoying the interesting plot of this show & have a dvr series recording set for this show. I was bummed to find it had not recorded this Wednesday, so I investigated & am disappointed to find out it’s status 🙁 I will follow it to Friday but will be very sad if it is pulled! Fox please don’t cancel this one; it’s a diamond in the rough, give it more time to catch it’s audience!! All the above comments echo mine
We love the show. Please do not cancel.
I’m enjoying Second Chance, along with my husband and son. Hope it continues.
I love the show, very cool twist to story. I would love to see it become a big hit show. I will be watching on Friday. Please keep this show going, with all the other horrible shows on these days, this is a gem in the rough. Do Not cancel.
it is different, I liked it, yes I will watch on Friday at 9:00, needs a little marketing, I think other people will like once they hear about it,
